My invention relates to improvements in device for icing cakes and theobject of the invention is to devise simple means whereby variouspatterns may be quickly and expeditiously stenciled in icing upon thetop of a cake, and at the same time provide such a means as willaccuratel stencil in outline any pattern desired, an it consistsessentially of the arrangement and construction of parts as hereinaftermore particularly explained; 1

Fig.1 is a perspective view of my device. Fig. 2 is a sectional viewthrough the stenciling plate;

1n the drawings like characters of reference indicate correspondingparts in each figure.

1 indicates a base provided with a back wall 2 extending upwardtherefrom at right angles thereto. 3 is a supplemental base or cakecarrier provided with ins 4 extending downward into orifices 5 ormed inthe [base 1. 6 is a compression spring encircling a each pin 4 betweenthe base 1 and sup lemental base 3. 7 and 8 are bars secure to thesupplemental base 3 in V-form forming a V recess into which the cake-9is fitted to accurately position the cake. 10 are slots formed in thewall 2. 11 is a wall portion through which extend bolts 12 which alsopass through the slots 10 of the wall 2 and are clamped in position bysuitable nuts as indicate'd'at 13. t

14 is a frame of astencil plate hingedly connected to-the upper edge ofthe wall 11 as indicated at 15; 16 is a gauze mesh secured at its edgesto the frame 14 and extending over the 0 en centre thereof as clearlyindicated at igure 2. 17 is a sheet of shim brass or other suitablemetal but of" which the pattern to be stenciled is cut. The sheet 17 islaid within the frame 14 and upon the gauze mesh 16. 1

18 is a squeegee formed of comparatively stifi' rubber and adapted whenits lower edge over the surface of the metal 17 to -force t e icingliquid through the opening in the metal 17 and through that portion ofthe mesh 16 which is exposed through the opening in the metal 17.

The mesh 16 when'the cake is in position onthe supplemental base 3 restsupon the top of the cake so that the icing which is forced through thismesh as above described is received by the surface of the cake and formsthe patternthereon. By this means it will be seen that not only may anydesign be readily reproduced in icing upon the cake, but alsomulti-coloured designs, as after the icing in one colour has beentransferred onto the cake as above described, the sheet 17 may bechanged for another sheet so cut as to transfer the icing liquid ofanother colour onto the cake surface. By the employment of the resilientsupplemental base 3 any depth of cake may be readily placed in positionfor icing. If

further adjustment is necessary this may be a done by loosening thebolts 12 and raising or lowering the plate portion 11.

What I claim as my invention is:

1. In a device for icing cakes, a resiliently supported. base upon whichthe cake to be iced is adapted to rest, a supporting standard, a framesecured to the standard and extending over the base and spaced aparttherefrom to permit the insertion-0f the cake, a wire mes 1 secured tothe frame and extending over the open portion thereof, a stencil sheetlaid upon the mesh through which and the mesh the icing liquid isadapted to be forced onto the cake top, and means for permitting thevertical adjustment of the frame in relation to the base.

2. In a device for icing cakes,'a resiliently supported base upon whichthe cake to be iced is adapted torest, a supportin standard locatedad'acent the base, a standard extension provi ed with vertical slots,securing bolts extending through the standard, clamping means extendingthrough the standard, slots adapted to secure the extensi on in anydesired position, a frame secured to the upper end of the standardextension and extending over the cake, and stencilling means supportedwithin the frame.

HUBERT CARTER.
